«Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.»
A quotation I really like because it’s to the point of how I think about and how I try to do my work. And… who said it? (more…)
Sometimes it would be quite comfortable (from a programmer’s perspective) to use nested inner functions. But they are a potential source for nasty problems. Let’s take the following simple scenario: (more…)
I *have* to update to 2.0 so I can install this from the App Store!
Love you too :-)

While I’ve never done packaging design (well.. a little condom package once, not really worth to mentioun), it fascinates me. Same for industrial design.. Anyway, this blog is nice.

Fortuanate boy I am, I know Marc personally. He’s got a huge collection of information and self-written software on his website – a smart and even more likable fellow.

My own blog. Time to go public (well.. to go search engines, I don’t think anyone else reads my delicious links ;)
A must have for any iPhone sensitive wordpress blog owner: WPhone and WPtouch
Especially WPhone is cool IMHO. WPtouch is cool too, but I think the iPhone renders most web pages pretty pretty anyway, and also.. it seems a bit slow too me. Still: very cool!
(see: it’s not a freakin’ beta! ha! watch my claim!)
Weak references are cool. No. they are substantial. I don’t know how we lived without them before. Anyway, they made our (we = flash developers) life better. I use them very often, when adding event listeners or caching with dictionaries (and I’m sure I’d use them even more often if there was any more possibilty provided).
Still you can struggle over unexpected behaviour. (more…)
It doesn’t happen that often that I see stuff that amazes me from a professional and private perspective in so many ways. Well, it happened today when I saw:

Yeah, i’m learning the cyrillic alphabet!
I like to keep all my projects on a svn server. So far this was just for myself and I didn’t care much about the simplicity of checking out and in – a little chaos is acceptable if you’re up to handle it ;)
Finally I was forced to rethink this strategy because I wanted to let other people work on a project. As many actionscript projects, this one also heavily relies on external libraries, most of them hosted by Google Code, another one being my own (closed) lib. So should I tell people: «hey, just svn checkout from here and there and then relink the libs in the project properties but don’t check in the updated settings for christ’s sake!»No. Too shaky, really.
Fortunately, SVN provides a fucking cool way to solve this issue: svn:externals. (more…)
